[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1358766, member: 101859"] One thing I want to ad. When tuning from your 300 yard ladder you still need to test out to the longest range you plan to shoot. As distance increases your window gets smaller. this because of the barrel harmics effect on trajectory. You may have a 2 grain window at 100 but I promise you you wont have a 2 grain window at 1k. Most likely you will end up with a load that on the low side of you close range window. So please take this load to 1k and verify and make small adjustments if vertical is excessive. And put it on paper, I hate seeing guys make any judgement from shooting rocks. It tells you nothing. I have seen so many .5 moa rock guns shoot way bigger when the groups hit paper. Its very hard to tell the difference in a 5" or 10" groups watching hits on rock or dirt. [/QUOTE]
